nVader- much more comfortable than Shield but it fogs bad.
Marker Setup:
Model 98 Classic with the Flatline and Brass Eagle Red-Dot Sight (A+ for the money)
Strengths:
the lense WILL NOT FOG as long as u take care of the inside of it. CLEAN THE INSIDE CAREFULLY. good protection too.
Weaknesses:
It bounces all over my face like crazy when i run around. The strap slips because most of the Shields dont have the silicone beading on the inside of the strap. I'm about to take the strap off and take a hot glue gun to the inside of the strap like JT does. I might mess up though ;-) Also the Neck Guard thinggy is cheap. Just a flimsy peice of platic. Cough-gimmick-Cough!!!
Conclusion:
Its good if u hate having your goggle fog on you when your having an asthma attack (lol). If u can get a silicone beaded strap on it then it will be A-Okay
Spyder TL+ (Silver), 14"Smart Parts Progressive Barrel ,Drop Forward, Smart Part Grip (clear), Shortened Trigger job, 12 v-revvy,88/4500 crossfire Nitrogen
Strengths:
This mask is awesome. It looks great. It is one of the most low profiles masks on the market. The lens system is the easiest one to change. I was kicking myself when I picked the NVader over the cheap version of this mask. So I decided to buy the middle of the line. The lenses are great, they seem bubbly at first but there is a reason behind that. With every part of the lense being equidistant from your eyes thus everything seems to be crystal clear. Sometimes you are wondering if you have lenses in because everything is so clear. It's 10x's easier to clean than the Nvader. Also the nech protector is a great option. At $46 and $15 for extra lenses it's a great deal.
Weaknesses:
Your neck feels exposed but that's what the neck protector is for.
Conclusion:
Great mask and I probably will not wear a different one for as long as I play paintball, unless I get the Morph, I highly recommend this for anyone.
2002 vertical feed cocker benchmark trigger frame with dye sticky grip cp14'' barrel cp flame with air adapter
Strengths:
Great mask has lots of protection in mind and it helps to the chin strap gives me a safer feeling and the neck gaurd is greatbut a little acward.its also very comfortable the lense ar ehuge let u see all around they really dont prevent tunnel vison but help.Quickest chang lense system out their.farily cheap.naver fogs
Weaknesses:
They are pretty big not a low profile mask and for some reason the lenses all ways get hit probly because they are so big.
Conclusion:
great mask never fogs strong lense hard to scratch i could go on and on but any ways these ar ea great mask i got them for 40 with the green opstion.wanted burgandy they are much sleeker.i say look around these are for me but whats for you?
Custom 98 w/double trigger, spyder/tippmann barrel adaptor, rear cocking bolt and RVA, 32deg gel grips and remote coil
Strengths:
They never fog. Even in thirty degree weather after sprinting fifty yards for cover, they still did not fog on me!!
Extremely comfortable over glasses.
They let your face breath. My other goggles feel cramped and suffocating compared to these.
Weaknesses:
What bad? They don't fog... did you hear me? They don't fog!!
Conclusion:
All of my buddies wear them because they are comfortable. If you are looking for a mask that works well with glasses, then this is your baby. Oh, did I mention that they don't fog?!

Strengths:
I love this mask. I am a heavy breather, and I tend to fog up masks quite often. This mask has not fogged once, I love it, I will never use anything else. Cost is very reasonable, definitely worth cost. Very comfortable.
Weaknesses:
Nothing as of yet.
Conclusion:
Buy these goggles, they are worth it, easy to maintain, reasonably priced, and they work incredibly.
CCI Phantom stock class, vertical air, 45 grip w/ black DYE stickies, ADCO e-Dot, CCI T-stock.
Strengths:
Good looking mask, extremely easy to remove and replace lens, good fit over glasses, has not fogged up yet.
Weaknesses:
Throat protector is nice, but it keeps you from being able to look down very far. This might not be a big deal for some players, but I play stock class, and I like to be able to see my feed tubes and 12 grams around my waist when I reach for them. I ended up taking mine back off. Visor was a little hard to install, but once it is on, it is not going anywhere.
Conclusion:
A superb mask for a player who wears glasses. It never fogs, and the lens removal is much easier than the JT masks.
Doesn't fog ever
Easy lens removal
Comfortable
Strong (I've been shot in the mask from pretty close a few times and no paint inside the mask and I barely felt it)
Cool replacement lenses
Weaknesses:
None maybe the price but I would glady pay it again to keep my eyesight!
Conclusion:
This is the best mask I've worn. You will not de disappointed when you buy this mask. Just make sure you don't get the rental version.
Spyder Tl Plus with a CP 16 inch barrel and aci 6 stage expansion chamber with a 20 oz on a remote.
Strengths:
Great field of view.
Lens is easy to change.
Never fogs no matter how much you sweat.
Visor actually gives some shade unlike it's brass eagle counterpart.
Huge Variety of replacement lenses.
Is cheap and effective.
Weaknesses:
Lens can scratch if not careful, but all masks do.
This mask does stand out a lot when playing especially if it's sunny (just make sure you have the visor).
Conclusion:
Great product. Better than any of JT. JT masks are good but only if your willing to invest in that costly fan with it. With the V-Force, a fan is not needed because it will never fog. It's great, get this or if you have a little extra get the morph all though they are pretty much the same and both receive a 10 on my scale. I myself would choose the shield just to save some cash.
I have been playing for about 2-3 years now and I couldn't stand using the masks you are given at the fields. I looked around and found that this mask had everything I was looking for. The lens is easy to pop out and clean. The feel is very confortable and very durable. The throat protector was a huge bonus. Field of vision is great. For the price of this helmet you can't go wrong.
Weaknesses:
No replacement lenses when purchased. Otherwise, NONE!!
Conclusion:
A must buy for all serious PB players

Weaknesses:
ok, my friend has a wal mart jt mask and it serious is more comfortable i think.
well, mines comfortable but you have to wear the strap up real high
he wears his strap perfectly straight around his head. when i do that my mask falls down so the visor is at eye level : ( i have to wear a beanie and have the strap riding high just to keep the mask on.
Conclusion:
i still think its the best mask out there, but because of comfortability reasons, i can't give it a 9 or 10...i really should give it a 7 but i'll give it an 8
its still the best pound for pound, but there are much much cheaper masks that are actually more comfortable.
